Salvage of the Failing Implant

Description

With the improved accessibility to patients and the
increased placement of dental implants by all specialties within dentistry, it
is only expected that the number of less-than-ideal results also will increase. This 60-minute webinar will discuss the oral and maxillofacial Surgeon’s
role in the potential salvage of these situations.

At the conclusion of
this program, participants should be able to:

Define
situations where salvage of an ailing implant should be undertaken.

Select
cases that have the best potential for salvage and employ the best technique to
achieve these results.

Recognize
the limitations of each technique.

Set
realistic expectations for the patient.

Educate
colleagues as to when to refer an ailing implant for evaluation and
how to recognize telltale signs of impending implant failure.
